God Send Us Preachers God send us preachers brash and true; Make them to serve your holy word. Your summons shall by them be heard. In sermons bold, we have heard you. You said the Word and there was light, Made new creation by your voice. When in your presence we rejoice, You’ve come to cheer our darkest night. Your living word made prophets bold, The Spirit-giv’n Good News to preach. None could out run your Spirit’s reach; Brave preachers spoke as they were told. God speaks to us by God’s own Son. Salvation preached for all to see. When truth is told, God’s victory, God’s Word made flesh, God’s will is done. Each time a preacher stands to speak, Whenever hungry hearts are fed, Your church discovers one more time That Christians live not just by bread. Give preachers courage to obey, In some dead place or silent hell, The angels’ Easter charge, “Go! Tell!” To call more foll’wers to the Way. These preachers shield from love of praise; Ignite their sermons with your fire. May they not fear their people’s ire, But serve your Word, throughout their days. When hands upon their heads are laid On this, their commissioning day May they know now your pow’r to say That same strong Word your Saints obeyed. Lord speak to us, our fears relieve; Just say the word and we are healed. Hearing your word is faith revealed, Though we’ve not seen, yet we believe!
